Church Road Marina will close after Christmas, from January 5 until the end of February 2020, to enable the installation of gas and water connections and other associated ducting as part of the £25 million refurbishment of Douglas Promenade.

The road, which links Market Street to the promenade, will be closed from the entrance to Market Street.

Pedestrians will still be able to use the route to access Douglas Promenade.

As part of the scheme, the existing one-way traffic flow on Finch Road will be reversed. This is required to provide safe access for heavy goods vehicles to make deliveries via Market Street.

Parking on Finch Road will be maintained, only facing the opposite direction.

The entrance and exit to Chester Street car park will be unaffected and traffic flows on adjacent roads will remain the same. The north-bound bus stop on Prospect Hill will move up the hill and all parking will be suspended on that side of the road.
